Hmmm.

I must admit I would rather not, but if it proves to be the shortest,
most direct route to good "todo" management I guess I will do it. I
will first check out the other options you discuss.

;-)

That sounds like the "diary" content...

So many to try...

Where can I get nntodo and nndiary?

Wow, there are so many! (Mark is now assigning self many todos to
check out the many todo programs... I can't help feeling like I am
somehow trapped in a circular dependency.) ;-)
Thank you Kai!
